What They Do

Gives skin a matte finish without smudging makeup

Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Beauty Papers Review

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Abaca leaf (absorbs oil)

HOW THEY LOOK/FEEL/SMELL:

The slim black tube is about the size of a roll of quarters, with a tiny mirror on the top. The sheets inside it are tissue-thin, fragrance-free, and large enough that you need only one for your whole face.

WHY WE LIKE THEM:

These papers instantly absorb unwanted shine without rubbing away your foundation or concealer (for real). And unlike similar products, which can leave skin feeling dried out or powdery, these are specifically formulated not to mess with the moisture levels of your skin but just to skim away excess oil from the surface. We love them for fixing our 4 p.m. oily T-zone, but we've also found another awesome use: blotting lipstick down to a matte, long-lasting finish. Our only complaint is that the mirror is almost comically small. Unless you're a close relative of Polly Pocket or enjoy viewing your reflection one inch at a time, it's not superhelpful.
